#1 Too bad. Civilized nations have trains. Trains are far more comfortable than airplanes, especially if you only have a couple hundred miles to go. You get to breathe real air instead of recycled airplane air that is full of unhealthy germs. Ordinary seats on just about any train are bigger and more comfortable than airplane seats. You get to watch the scenery from the windows. You don't have the stress that is always found at airports.

Sure, if you're going from LA to New York, you want an airplane. But if you're only going from LA to San Francisco or LA to Las Vegas, a train would be a lot better...if only we had such a train.
